12 Big Data Challenges Awareness Is Growing The Age of Big Data By STEVE LOHR Published: February 11, Most of the Big Data surge is data in the wild unruly stuff like words, images and video on the Web and those streams of sensor data. It is called unstructured data and is not typically grist for traditional databases Obama s Big Data Plans: Lots of Cash and Lots of Open Data By DERRICK HARRIS Published: March 29, 2012 The White House on Thursday morning released the details of its new big data strategy, and they involve access to funding and data for researchers. It s a big financial commitment in a time of tight budgets well over $200 million a year but the administration is banking on big data techniques having revolutionary effects on par with the Internet, which federal dollars financed decades ago.

27 Aspera Sync technology advantages Built on top of fasp Overcomes TCP bottlenecks for maximum transfer speed regardless of file size, network or distance Full utilization of available bandwidth and protection of other network traffic Uncompromising security and reliability with user/endpoint authentication, AES-128 cryptography in transit and at-rest data integrity verification and automatic resume of partial or failed transfers Fastest possible resolution of file system changes Compares changes to local state (file snapshot), saving costly WAN chattiness of rsync File system notification where available (OS dependent) Superfast scan to detect changes in scan-mode for large incremental data sets Quick restart after system down Very efficient handling of common scenarios Replicates file moves and file renames on the source as a file move or rename on the target Huge savings not re-transferring after move or rename Robust - waits for the system(s) to become stable (i.e., detects whether or not files are still being modified) before performing synchronization Supports broader set of use cases and deployment options Push and Pull modes Multi-directional, full mesh synchronization

30 Enterprise Performance, Scalability and Reliability Unlimited scale-out faspex application and Enterprise Server can be installed on separate hosts Allows clustering of Enterprise Server nodes for unlimited scaleout of transfer capacity (I/O and network capacity) Multi-server relay Master server and Relay server configuration Transfers from one user to another are relayed to the users home server Simple administration of relay server through the master with automatic synchronization of user accounts between master and peers High-availability configuration faspex server is designed to be deployed in an active / passive HA configuration Ensures continuous availability of the faspex application Seamless automatic retry and resume of transfer sessions on failover assuming shared storage

31 Ad-hoc 3 rd party submission and distribution Ad-hoc submission and distribution capabilities fully integrated with , does not require a registered faspex account Upload / contribution and distribution privileges can be set to auto-expire by the administrator using time-based policies Uploads are delivered to private area with private tracking and notification Metadata entries for drop boxes are fully configurable per drop box, with metadata stored as an XML file on the server Rich reporting on metadata available through Aspera Console

32 Cargo Downloader automatic download with faspex Key Features Familiar ATOM feed paradigm for automatically downloading faspex packages for both Windows and Mac Supports secure embargoes on content access with built-in encryption Easy GUI controls for automatic decryption of all content in a downloaded package Configurable download target location per faspex server and account Support for a configurable number of concurrent downloads and queuing Real-time transfer rate control and monitoring for each download Pause, cancel and resume functionality with automatic retry on failure Application Examples Extends person-to-person file delivery workflows with automatic downloads of faspex packages Receive packages from multiple faspex servers, consolidating all downloads to a single client Automatically bringing in new content for follow-the-sun working with no delay

33 Aspera Add-in for Microsoft Outlook Key Features Leverages the strength of the Aspera fasp transport protocol and existing faspex software and infrastructure for high-speed transfer of large file and directory attachments Senders follow standard workflow to compose s, recipients receive original , plus faspex Recipients can transparently download received attachments from faspex server No limits on size of attachments - attachments can be any size with virtually no limit Entire folders and directories can be sent, without requiring any compression Offloads processing from Exchange Server Configurable size of the file attachments that trigger an Aspera transfer Application Examples Extends person-to-person file delivery workflows to the most common communication tool: Research data distribution

35 Universal ios app, fully integrated with Photo Gallery A single app for both ipad and iphone devices Dynamically adjusts taking specific advantages of each device s foot print and characteristics The app to make sense to your users regardless of which device type they are on Fully integrated with the Photo Gallery Downloaded picture and video packages can be stored directly in the Photo Gallery with a single click Photos and videos can be accessed directly from the Photo Gallery and sent as standard faspex packages Users can shoot pictures and video with the built in camera and immediately upload them for high-speed delivery

36 Comprehensive Security Full support of the Aspera fasp TM security model Secure authentication, encryption of the data using strong cryptography, per-packet integrity verification to protect against man-in-the-middle compromise, and is FIPS compliant Supports all LDAP directory services for import, synchronization, and direct authentication Open Directory, Open LDAP, Active Directory Configurable security options Automatic deactivation after set number of failed login attempts Concurrent login prevention, session timeout, strong passwords Configurable per IP and mask upload, download, login permission Sending and receiving from 3 rd party non registered users, with policy-based expiration Configurable data encryption in flight and at rest Package contents can be encrypted over-the-wire, or optionally at rest for complete security Encrypted packages can be decrypted on the fly when downloaded by the recipient using one of the faspex clients such as the ios faspex Client, Aspera Add-in for Outlook, Aspera Connect browser plug-in, or Aspera Cargo downloader The sender may choose when and to whom to distribute the secret, and thus prevent unauthorized users from accessing the content, and control when recipients are able to decrypt the downloaded content

37 Use Case: Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity Goal - Protection against unplanned outages or data loss Replicate mission critical data from a primary site to one or more alternate sites Systems remain available after a system outage or site loss Critical data is preserved Examples Complete system replication for disaster recovery and data center migration Key Features and Benefits Fastest possible end-to-end sync (fasp TM ), replication fits within the operational window, and minimizes recovery time meeting both the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) High scalability allowing protection of large files and file systems Continuous, ultra-efficient synchronization ensuring offsite systems are always up to date Command Line Interface for custom scripting to meet specific requirements Console Monitoring to ensure system is operational Primary Site Alternate Site
